Mock Chicken Korma
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 2 (8 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 3/4 tablespoon curry powder
- 3/4 tablespoon garam masala 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 onion, sliced in wedges
- 2 teaspoons crushed garlic
- 1 (9 oz) can chopped tomatoes, with juice
- 1 1/3 cups vegetable broth
- 9 ounces coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon smooth cashew butter (I use peanut butter - I don't always have cashew butter in the pantry)
- 2/3 cup plain yogurt
- salt to taste
- If you don't have Garam Masala, you can mix these spices to create your own blend:
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1. In a medium skillet, saute chicken pieces in 1 teaspoon of oil until fully cooked. Remove chicken from pan and allow to drain on paper towels.
- 2. In a separate skillet, heat curry powder, garam masala, nutmeg, and cinnamon in remaining teaspoon of oil - and allow to cook a few seconds (it should sizzle, but not smoke), stirring occasionally.
- 3. Mix in onion and garlic; increase temperature and saute until onion is near translucent.
- 4. Add tomatoes and vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
- 5. Mix in coconut milk and peanut/cashew butter; cook 3 minutes.
- 6. Stir in cooked chicken pieces and yogurt. Simmer 5 more minutes.
- Serve over basmati rice, or with naans!
